No Blog yesterday.
For those of you thinking you maybe didn’t get yesterday’s blog, there was none. I got rushed and did not get one out. Gary

George & Lela Cota Memories
From Lola

Gary, when I saw the picture of Gary Cota and family it reminded me of George and Lela Cota- two of the gentlest nicest people I’ve ever known- I believe they were the attendants for my parents wedding in 1934– Jay and I lived in town a few months the summer we got married and they treated us like their own kids- they lived right next door– I have fond memories of them!—Lola

Joke of the day
Posted by Mel Kuhn (70): St. John, ND
 

A cowboy appeared before St. Peter at thePearly Gates. ‘Have you ever doneanything of particular merit?’ St. Peterasked.

‘Well, I can think of one thing,’ thecowboy offered. ‘On a trip to the BlackHills out in South Dakota , I came upon agang of bikers, who were threatening ayoung woman. I directed them to leave heralone, but they wouldn’t listen. So, Iapproached the largest and most heavilytattooed biker and smacked him in hisface … Kicked his bike over, ripped outhis nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, ‘Now, back off!! OrI’ll kick the c__p out of all of you!’

St. Peter was impressed, ‘When did thishappen?’

‘Just a couple of minutes ago…..…’

 
 
 
Folks,
I was just informed that today is our good friend, Lorna’s Birthday.
Guys, Lorna is very single too. She would very much like to join her/our
close friend Rose who recently went back to the states. Lorna has a nice
home here in Cebu and as you can see drives a pretty nice SUV. Gary
